New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
1 To You I lift up my eyes, O You who are enthroned in the heavens!
1
I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven.
2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the LORD our God, Until He is gracious to us.
2
As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a female slave look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he shows us his mercy.
3 Be gracious to us, O LORD , be gracious to us, For we are greatly filled with contempt.
3
Have mercy on us, LORD, have mercy on us, for we have endured no end of contempt.
4 Our soul is greatly filled With the scoffing of those who are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
4
We have endured no end of ridicule from the arrogant, of contempt from the proud.
